Hearings Day Two

Neil Gorsuch, Trump’s nominee for the Supreme Court, takes the hot seat on Capitol Hill for day two of his Senate hearing. After a marathon 12-hour day of questioning on Tuesday, the right-leaning judge still faces a tough day. Despite Democrats' attempts to rattle Gorsuch, the nominee rarely appeared unnerved. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell says the Senate is on track to give the green light to Gorsuch before Congress’ two-week recess on April 7.
